Wanted to point out that the article “why it sinks to be a lawyer” talks about the usofa. None of the points mentioned in that article applies to practising law in Canada, 0, zilch, nada… Dont have the time to go over them but anybody familiar with the Canadian legal system and the Canadian legal education would understand.

The only thing that stinks about being a lawyer in Canada is how difficult it is to get admitted to law school. If the US learned from this model they wouldn’t have any of these challenges for this profession either….

@Emilio, I also noticed that it wasn’t written by a lawyer. And it asks you to guess the statistics that apparently prove the point (and never provides them). The conclusions sounds like it’s based on mega-firms so it’s probably not even accurate for all lawyers in the US. Very curious…

I would imagine another downside of being a lawyer in the US is being associated with those guys who have a 7-story tall picture of their face with the words “yes you can sue them!” next to it :) For things a Canadian wouldn’t expect to see that ranks up there with ads for hip surgery and signs that say “please leave your firearms outside the bank”.
